Every Video Game Release Date (March 2024)

Some of the most exciting video games of 2024 are coming in March, running the gamut from ports like Horizon Forbidden West‘s PC debut to new flagship titles like Rise of the Ronin. 2024 has been a busy year so far, with a mix of long-anticipated release dates, unexpected breakout hits, and even a surprise drop or two. March shouldn’t have any trouble keeping up the momentum, bringing a conclusive end to the winter season of games and heralding in spring with some fresh titles.

The first big release to kick off March is The Thaumaturge, a fantastical RPG set in Warsaw that could be of interest to Baldur’s Gate 3 fans. Releases hit their stride just past the middle of the month, when games like Alone in the Dark, Princess Peach: Showtime, and Dragon’s Dogma 2 will start hitting shelves. One major game that didn’t quite make the cutoff for March is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which could easily keep PS5 owners occupied for the month thanks to its February 29 launch.

March 2024 Video Game Release Schedule

The second half of March 2024 is definitely more aggressively busy than the first half, but there should be a lot to enjoy throughout the course of the month all the same. Across the whole period, there’s a good mix of games for each major platform, although it isn’t much of a month for Xbox exclusives. Fans of multiple consoles and genres will probably have to make some tough choices in March about what to play at release, which is certainly a better problem to have than staring at an empty slate of releases.

The overall picture of 2024 game releases starts to get more nebulous not long after March, with April being the last month that’s currently reasonably well-stocked with hard release dates. That’s sure to change as time goes on, although reports of a potentially delayed Switch successor and a lack of major franchise releases from Sony do imply that the latter months could be a bit thinner in some regards. Regardless, the March 2024 lineup should be plenty to engage with for a while, whether playing Horizon Forbidden West, Rise of the Ronin, or any other standout among the new titles.
